| The Nido artificial hair and
artificial hair implantation method gained high evaluation
from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery
(ISHRS) as safe for use and as an effective surgical method
for treating baldness. |

The 11th annual general meeting
of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS)
was held over a five-day period from October 15, 2003 at a
conference hall in New York. This society, was originally
organized in 1993 as a place where research on hair transplantation
surgery using hair taken from donor sites of the patient himself
for transplant into recipient sites in bald areas using such
as punch grafts and rotation flaps could be reported and discussed.
It is the world's largest academic society for hair restoration
surgery. The number one problem for doctors was that many
patients could not provide sufficient donor hair for transplant.
It was very difficult at first to obtain their understanding
for a method of implantation of artificial hair fibers into
the scalp (Yamada's Method), which had not existed up till
then. But three members of the Nido research team (one doctor
of science and two medical doctors) had become members of
the ISHRS from the time of its establishment and continued
to steadily report ongoing research on the Nido artificial
hair implantation method. And, after the Nido research team
received an award for a poster presentation on their research
results at the 9th annual ISHRS general meeting held in Puerto
Vallarta, Mexico in 2001, interest deepened among all the
ISHRS members for artificial hair.
Furthermore, at the request of the ISHRS, a special workshop
on the Nido artificial hair implantation method was held as
part of the official program at the 11th ISHRS annual general
meeting on October 3, 2003. At the workshop, three patients
(2 Japanese, 1 Australian), who had received Nido artificial
hair implantation talked about their experience, and a practical
demonstration of the method was held. Many doctors were able
to see and try out the technique for themselves on the head
of a medical dummy while hearing a report about research to
date. |

When they were able to verify the actual results of Nido artificial
hair implantation with their own eyes and experience applying
the technique firsthand, many doctors who until then had been
inclined to be anti artificial hair came to officially recognize
its effectiveness and safety. At the ISHRS's important general
meeting that same year, a debate was held entitled "Is artificial
hair implantation method right or wrong?". And for that purpose
an ISHRS ad hoc committee on artificial hair was organized
in June 2003, consisting of seven persons, which requested
by questionnaire through an international law office that
companies producing artificial hair in Japan allow them to
observe their production facilities and clinics. However,
only Nido Ltd. accepted their request. Then, in August 2003,
two members of the ad hoc committee came to Japan and visited
our manufacturing facilities, (American FDA approved for production
of medical devices, recipient of European Union CE marking,
ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified). They appraised our manufacturing
facilities as "Extremely well managed and clean manufacturing
facilities, and both equipment and technology at the clinics
are splendid". |
| |
| The majority of the in-house
production at Nido's manufacturing facility if carried out
in clean rooms and sterile dust-free rooms, and the ad hoc
committee members were surprised to learn that we had acquired
International Standard ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certification.
The content of the inspections was reported to the Society
and examined during the ISHRS general meeting period and it
received official opinion that "No fault was found with artificial
hair implantation. Nido artificial hair has sufficient safety
considerations, is a world highest grade artificial hair,
and is an effective method for baldness restoration" |
| |
|
In this way, Nido has steadily carried
out research and development with a world range of vision
over a period of 30 years as a pioneer of artificial hair
that "We wish to help even one more sufferer of baldness to
regain a sense of youthfulness and joy". And, we have been
able to grow to become the only artificial hair implantation
method with products officially recognized by an international
academic Society for world's highest technology, function
and safety. |
| |
| Nido's products are consistently
produced under strict quality control at our International
Standard ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) and ISO 13485
(Quality system/medical equipment) certified manufacturing
facility. All products are completely sterilized by electron
beam and completely safe. |
